COLUMBUS, Ohio -- ESPN is reporting that Ohio State has hired Urban Meyer as its football coach.

Meyer has worked for the sports network the past year. The network did not cite a source for its report.

Meyer
won two national championships at Florida and is returning to his Ohio
roots by becoming coach of a Buckeyes team facing NCAA problems.

No
announcement has been set by Ohio State, although there were reports
that a team meeting set for Sunday night has been moved to Monday
afternoon.

Meyer has a 10-year record of 104-23. He takes over a
program that has been hit by several suspensions and the forced
resignation of coach Jim Tressel. The Buckeyes completed a 6-6 season
under interim Luke Fickell with a 40-34 loss to rival Michigan on
Saturday.
